| description | Industrialized Building System (IBS) is an alternative construction method that was
introduced to improve the productivity of the Malaysian construction project.The implementation of IBS in the Malaysian construction industries not only could reduce the time of construction process, but it also can provide better site management, reduce labour intensity, improve the quality and the efficiency of construction. Even though the implementation of IBS had been introduced since 50 years ago, however the level
of its uptake is still far away from the ideal objectives of the Government.Therefore,
this research had been carried out in order to analyse and explore this issue deeper by identifying the definition of IBS, the categories of IBS and the technology barriers of
IBS that occurs in the Malaysian construction industries.For additional information, the scope of this study was focused in both areas of Kedah and Perlis.In order to investigate the problem, this research had been generated to identify the barriers of IBS implementation by using a qualitative research approach which is face – to – face interview technique.The data that had been obtained from the interviews had been
analysed using the content analysis technique. As for conclusion, the technology barriers of IBS in Kedah construction projects such as cost issues and design factors had been identified and discussed. |
